A. Country-Based Eligibility Framework

Eligibility for full waivers or partial discounts is primarily determined by the country classification of the corresponding author’s primary institutional affiliation, as defined by the World Bank Country and Lending Groups and the Research4Life Eligibility Criteria.

B. Discretionary Hardship & Early-Career Researcher Waivers

AnKa Publisher recognizes that researchers from middle- or high-income economies may also face genuine financial hardship. Discretionary partial or full waivers may be granted on a case-by-case basis under the following circumstances:

• Unfunded Research & ECRs: Early-Career Researchers (ECRs), PhD candidates, or unfunded independent scholars who receive no institutional funding, research grants, or departmental publishing support.
• Crisis & Conflict Zones: Authors affected by active military conflict, political instability, severe economic inflation, or major natural disasters.

C. Mandatory Application Procedure & Timing

To ensure fair administrative handling and prevent processing delays, all waiver and discount applications must strictly adhere to the following protocol:

• Initial Submission Requirement: Waiver or discount requests MUST be submitted during the initial manuscript submission phase through the online submission portal or via a formal note/letter to the Editor-in-Chief.
• Strict Deadline Rule: Requests submitted post-acceptance, during typesetting, or after the publication invoice has been issued will be automatically rejected.
• Required Documentation: Applicants must provide:
  • Institutional email address associated with an eligible university or research facility.
  • A formal signed request letter explaining the lack of research funding or institutional grant support.
  • Proof of current academic status (for PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers).

D. Complete Editorial Separation & Anti-Bias Guarantee

In accordance with COPE and DOAJ ethics guidelines, all waiver applications are handled exclusively by the AnKa Publisher Financial & Administrative Office. Section Editors, Editorial Board Members, and Peer Reviewers have no knowledge of or access to waiver requests. A request for a financial waiver will never influence the peer-review process, evaluation speed, or editorial decision regarding manuscript acceptance.
